According to the visa application requirement to China, we need to provide a return flight ticket together with the application. I had my flight booked & paid for with en e-ticket issued & submitted with the full set of documents as required but still my visa application was rejected.

On the other hand, one of my female friend only submit a reservation booking of flight which she had obtained on the internet without having the ticket confirm, paid & issued but yet, she had managed to get her visa approved on 2 different occasions.

Please advise how can her application be approved & mine rejected.
